#284 - Steve McQueen on Lovers Rock
from Film at Lincoln Center Podcast · host Film at Lincoln Center
Welcome to the Film at Lincoln Center podcast. On a special NYFF58 Opening Night edition, NYFF Director of Programming Dennis Lim is joined by Steve McQueen to discuss Lovers Rock, which makes its world premiere tonight at the festival. A movie of tactile sensuality and levitating joy, Lovers Rock is part of Steve McQueen’s Small Axe anthology of decades-spanning films that alight on various lives in London’s West Indian community. Here, McQueen, in an ecstatic yet no less formally bold mode, charts the growing attraction between Martha (newcomer Amarah-Jae St. Aubyn) and a brooding stranger (played by Micheal Ward) over the course of one night at a house party. Lovers Rock is presented by Campari. Tickets for Brooklyn and Queens drive-in screenings and nationwide virtual tickets for Lovers Rock are available, along with two more films in the anthology, Mangrove and Red, White, and Blue.
